Paying it forward
The success of the ASA Student Council has also recent- ly sparked interest in another council in the European Acoustics Association (EAA). The ASA Student Council looks forward to working with the EAA students to establish their student council at the Paris meeting this summer, as well as in organizing student events for the upcoming joint meeting, Acoustics’08 Paris.
The Student Council welcomes communication from anyone in the Society who has additional ideas for student initiatives. Information about the Council and all of the activities described above can be found on our webpage (www.asastudentzone.org). Contact information for current Council members in each technical committee can also be found on the webpage. Students should also check their email
for our Student E-zine, which provides information on stu- dent activities prior to each meeting.AT
